Best and Cheapest to Use Rideshare Apps? Any new ones?

Hi,

What are the best cheapest rideshare apps to use at the moment?

From what I know there are:
UBER
DIDI
OLA

I have noticed there are no more promotions with Ola so they no longer the cheapest.

Didi seems to always be the cheapest unless there is a surge but get old and small sized cars most of the time. Some of the drivers also look like they just came out of jail, fresh from overseas or from another planet.

Uber is good to use when flights get delayed at the airport and other apps always get cancelled.

Are there any other or new rideshare apps that are cheap and good to use?

    cheap

    It’s already not sustainable as it is, anyone looking to disrupt the market is either super well backed with stacks of cash to burn or just hoping for the best

    Ola all the way for drivers that have just arrived and fail to stop at red lights let alone have had any training in courtesy.
    We had one Didi with a van who stopped on the airport road to walk out to the mangroves to empty his bowels.
    Ola drivers are the least respectful shooting over red lights like they would not exist.

      Shooting over red lights doesnt really benefit the driver. The way they get paid more is if they 'accidentally' take the wrong exit on a roundabout or the wrong turn or anything on those lines

        Actually it is an ever changing algorithm to pay the drivers more that do most trips with least complaints.
        Taking deliberately wrong turn is actually decreasing the drivers net pay. Just for fun I drove nearly 5000 trips myself. It is all sham contractors work, they prefer that you lease a vehicle from one of their partners to have total control on you. Uber has managed to keep all smaller players out of the system at a ridiculous cost to the shareholders.
        Didi is on a copy cat trail trying to do partnerships with Alipay and the likes. Each company has brought along their culture. Ola paying out every day and Didi also taking care of the ultra short trip market. (Sometimes from one end of a mall to another.)

    There a new one advertising cheaper fares for longer rides. Only thing I can see that doing is screwing the driver more.

    Might be cheaper for you, but it won’t be sustainable as the drivers work out they can’t make a decent coin out of it.

    I have used InDriver in Brisbane a few times when difficult to get anything else, to me it hasn't been cheaper but the vehicles nicer and no cancellations yet.

    Look @ Placie

    It is a Ride Share Comparison app all the cool kids are using…

    OzB referrals @ https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/placie.com

    Otherwise I use Uber One:

    as a regularly intoxicated young adult in perth, it used to be the case that ola & didi were the cheaper, albeit less reliable alternative to uber. that is to say, ola/didi were 20% or so cheaper if you could get one, but you'd always be able to get an uber. one time I ordered an ola & it was a liveried taxi.

    at this point, leaving a night out at 11pm-2am, you're usually cancelled on by 3-5 ubers before having to re-open the app, only suddenly find the fare has gone up from $30-40 to $55+.

      I here ya…

      I'd "booked" an Uber at 04.30 to the Airport.
      Uber was assigned, but finishing another job.

      Finished other Job, then cancelled, Bait and Switch.
      +$12 more. because they know you need to get to Airport.
